Is OLED better for eyes?

OLEDs are true emissive components that produce light on their own and do not require a light source. Meaning they produce a light that's more natural and less harsh on your eyes. OLED TVs also provide excellent color and contrast because they do not use light from other sources to display colors, as LCD/LED TVs do.
